  1. Lurasidone

    Lurasidone, sold under the trade name Latuda among others, is an antipsychotic medication used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It is taken by mouth. Common side effects include sleepiness, movement disorders, nausea, and diarrhea. Serious side effects are valid for all atypical antipsychotics and may include the potentially permanent movement disorder tardive dyskinesia, as well as neuroleptic malignant syndrome, an increased risk of suicide, angioedema, and high blood sugar levels, although lurasidone is less likely to cause high blood sugar levels in most patients, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome may occur. In older people with psychosis as a result of dementia, it may increase the risk of dying. Use during pregnancy is of unclear safety.Lurasidone was first approved for medical use in the United States in 2010. In 2013 it was approved in Canada and by the United States Food and Drug Administration to treat bipolar depression, either as monotherapy or adjunctively with lithium or valproate. In 2019, generic versions were approved in the United States but will not be available until 2023. In 2020, it was the 259th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 1 million prescriptions.
